This was no made-for-TV movie


No network would have shown this crap.

I have noticed that there a number of films classified as TV movies on IMDB from the '60s that I don't believe were actually that. Don't know why they were designated as such, either.

No blah, blah, blah!

I have noticed that as well. I will attempt to update/correct this one.

There is no way to correct this.

I believe it's the format, and the fact it was never run at the theaters. They made movies like this to run in the later hours, usually 11:30 after the news, and before the channel would sign off.

Computer says, "Nah."

This was part of an American International Studios package of cheap B-films that were made to be shown exclusively at drive-ins back then. That is a fact. Early made-for-TV movies shown by the three major networks of the day were of varying quality, but ALL were better than this trash. Larry Buchanan would never have been hired by a major studio or TV network after the garbage like this that he made for AI. Those are opinions.
